Monday: Late again, today,
                               F#m         E
he'd be in trouble though he'd say he was sorry,
F#m           E             A       D
he'd have to hurry out the bus.

Tuesday: Horace was so sad,
                           F#m       E
he'd never had a girl that he could care for,
F#m            E                      A      D
and if he was late once more, he'd be out.
   A           D     A                 D
   Don't be afraid, just knock on the door,
        A                    D       
   Well he just stood there mumblin' and fumblin'.
   A                  D
   Then a voice from above said—
      A                G
    "Horace Wimp, this is your life,
       F#m               F
     Go out and find yourself a wife.
     A               G
     Make a stand and be a man,
       F#m              F
     And you will have a great life plan."
